Orthotics (also called Orthoses) -
These are an important component of footwear. They accommodate, support and/or relieve specific conditions, as well as improve the foot's function. Below are just a few examples of custom orthotics.
In addition to designing and fabricating an appropriate orthotic, a C.Ped can offer you personalized attention in selecting, fitting and modifying shoes, so that you can wear your orthotic effectively.
Custom Molded Shoes (also called foot Orthoses) -
A C.Ped must take a cast of your feet for your custom molded shoes. A positive mold of the foot can be made from a negative cast or computer generated, depending on the patient's needs and the prescriber's intent.
Can a C.Ped Fill a Prescription - YES
Many people benefit from pedorthic devices or footwear modifications, which make your shoes or sneakers more comfortable.
Sometimes you might only need a shoe which has been properly fitted. For situations such as these, you can see a C.Ped. without a footwear prescription.
However, it is always adviseable to schedule an appointment with your C.Ped. for custom shoes. This will esure you are given the "time" and "attention" you deserve.
